DEBLI PROJECT vol.1 Last Day.
Went to a ballet concert with friends at noon.
After that, we moved to Shibuya. Today is the last day of DEBLI.
Many audiences crowded into the show as they see the show once more again.
I enjoyed once again the exhibitions at every floor.
The stuff is vigorous. There is always sparkling atmosphere at the show.
DEBLI stuff has a family-like relation.
And the concept of DEBLI (garbage) is really good.
Recycle, and recreate.
I can imagine that DEBLI will create beautiful things in futures.

DEBLI PROJECT vol.1 OP
DEBLI Project starts today. Went to the opening party.
The gallery was filled with a lot of audiences.
About 200 artists are taking part in this show.
The pieces are exhibited nicely with a magical talent of Mr.Nishimoto.
I'm so amazed at his skill of making space.
Every piece is so wonderful!
You can enjoy the works by many artists if you visit some times.
The show is really worth visiting many times.
There is my image painting of “BGS (Big Shoes)” exhibited there at 1F’s café.
You can also enjoy it with the animals.
I have a lot of things to write, but stop right here.
Anyway I realize that it's so wonderful to make things with many people.

Keep
Just finished “Big Shoes” early morning yesterday.
I worked nonstop as usual.
Once I start to paint, I associate with the artwork like caregiver.
I look at the unfinished work by my side even at meals and bed.
Several attempts. I wish the work would be better and better.
That moment, I think earnestly, might be the most pleasant time for me.
By the way, I've grasped the way to paint a little recently.
So excited that I couldn't stop.
Keep.

The Pleasure of Creating.
Continuing painting for DEBLI Project since yesterday.
I'm designing a character that I imagine from a name of Big Shoes and forming it to a painting.
Inspiration.
Sketch.
Painting.
The detail is turning and turning, into what they should be.
And suddenly I come across what I haven't expected.
Perhaps that is the pleasure of creating.

Living Feeling.
Started painting for DEBLI Project.
An idea come to me in a train and now has grown in my studio.
The more my brain cells change, the more the image turns.
I'm attached to this living feeling.

Sophisticated Puzzle Rings
I've made it a point not to narrow materials when I create for a long time.
Especially ragged boards floated to the shore have been my favorite canvas.
Cardboards gotten from grocery shops are also wonderful materials.
Only rule when I create my works of art is to create "without rule."
If creating would be "a work stretches a world of mine," on the contrary a rule makes limit to my world.
"Being without rule" is important, and I do think that is what creating should be.
By the way, recently I think a lot about "recreating."
DEBRI Project I'll take part in this April leads me to think of it.
Objet d'art made by Takemi Nishimoto looked like "sophisticated puzzle rings."
I faced a question how I should recreate work admirably finished by him.
Recreating is a work to find out "very what the material could be."
This work is hard for ones who have limit.
So this project is a perfect dream.
I heard there are over 180 people will participate in this show.
The visitors of course will, and we artists will be so interested in how they could face this "sophisticated puzzle rings."

Born in Communications.
I love a moment when a new idea is born in communications.
A chemical reaction between one mind and the other is a fascinating of communication.
The producer and stuff of DEBLI Project visited me to take my artworks for the show.
We talked a lot, and through the conversation I could grasp things I didn't make it clear enough.
The very topic of the conversation is what we'll have to do in the future.
It's so hard to think by oneself about the future of this world.
But once we think about it with companies, we can feel a positive energy with them.
Now I'm sure DEBLI Project must be a wonderful show.

Continue to the Next.
Finished works for DEBLI Project. It's a month before the deadline.
I could be satisfied with them and feel relief.
I learned a lot through this collaboration as a challenge.
And this experience had made my world widen more.
Continue to the next.
That's what I've been doing since my childhood.

Puzzle without solution.
Finished Rhino, a work for DEBLI Project.
I couldn't up the image yet now, but it appeared to be much cooler than I've imagined.
Everything such as title, concept, and subject of the work are the best.
I pretend to accomplish "the ideal collaboration" perfectly.
At this time I beat my brain so much. I always kept the Rhino beside myself.
At bedside when sleep, I thought about it even in my dreams.
That is as if I had tried a puzzle without a solution.
I had an exciting and enjoyable time.
I've started to create "Elephant" today.
The Elephant must be better than the Rhino.
Now the elephant occupies my mind.
I have an exciting and enjoyable time.

More than looking through my eyes.
I've just finished work for a group show in this March (L.A.) late at last night.
Though I'm going to have photography of these works in this early morning, I'm already feeling that I've done.
So as soon as I finished the work, I started work for DEBLI Project in April (Tokyo.)
In this DEBLI Project, the artists will “recycle” objet d'arts created by Takemi Nishimoto.
I chose the rhino and the elephant.
But I found it difficult to “recycle” these objet d'arts than I imagined.
Mr. Nishimoto showed these pottery animals as works of “paper folding.”
These are already beautiful now. I hesitate to overpaint them.
Because these works are the artworks that had already been accomplished.
I've got some ideas about them, but I couldn't decide.
It's unusual for me, but I haven't made up my mind.
I have gazed “the rhino and the elephant,” while creating another works.
But I've got a vision suddenly when started to make the groundwork.
I was amazed at that.
I can feel strongly the figure, scale and image of the objet d'arts from my brush.
That was as if I would suck up the vision through my brush as a straw.
I could recognize, how I should create these, with all of my body.
I found out that a painter could grasp his work through the brush than by touching or gazing it.

Yosuke Ueno in DEBLI project
I'm going to participate in a group show named DEBLI project. (April/Tokyo)
I'm so excited to have the show in Japan, for shows I have now are almost in abroad.
And the content of the show is also exciting.
Artists will create our own artworks with objet made by Takemi Nishimoto.
Truly, it's the first time for me to collaborate with another artist.
It will be a good opportunity to ponder on collaborations, for I've been thinking about that.
Now I'm working for a show in March at LA, and on the completion of the work, I will set about creating this collaboration work.
But I've already begun to visualize the work.
It even might be said that the execution has already started.
Anyway it's sure that I'm so excited.
"To be excited" is the basis for all creative works.
I'm sure the work must be glorious one.
